I'm not really convinced that a programming language that builds products from a subset of pre-made parts by making assumptions about implementation, rather than requiring the designer to plan in full detail and iron out design/logic inconsistencies, would really be all that useful.
But more to the point, I'd imagine a lot of programmers wouldn't even be interested in programming if it wasn't difficult. There's little point to a puzzle if someone just tells you the answer. Coding is all about choosing pieces, putting them together, and questioning whether the way those pieces are used will get you to your ideal solution.
Sure, some people code just to create output. Some people exercise just to burn calories, and hate every minute of it; those probably aren't the people climbing mountains.
